How to Watch USA vs. Senegal: Channel, Live Stream & Start Time for USMNT Friendly

With the 2026 FIFA World Cup less than a month away, the United States, one of the host countries, is ramping up for a memorable summer. Before the tournament gets officially underway, Team USA will have a couple of friendlies.

First up is a marquee clash against African powerhouse Senegal this Sunday at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C.

Serving as the opening leg of the Allstate Continental Clasico, the match represents the start of head coach Mauricio Pochettino’s final two-game dress rehearsal before the group stage kicks off on June 12 in Los Angeles.

Facing a dangerous, 14th-ranked Senegal side loaded with dynamic tournament experience and elite talent like Sadio Mane, the newly finalized 26-man USMNT roster will get an immediate, physical test of its tactical cohesion and defensive resolve in front of a raucous Queen City crowd.

Here is everything you need to know about Team USA vs. Senegal, including TV and streaming options for the friendly.
